From Courtroom to Classroom: An Inmate’s Tale

Mar 5, 2019

5:30pm – 5:50pm CT

This presentaion will take you on a journey through the education system behind the walls of a federal penitentiary. From a successful trial laywer to an inmate, you will be taken into a GED classroom and through classes taught by inmates in order to educate, rehabilitate, and transform five years of incarceration into time helping others to change. We will dive into the education provided inside, and the lack of programming and educational support preparing men and women for their return home.
